Robert Adams

Robert Lincoln Adams (1855-1899) was an American train conductor employed by Leviticus Cornwall. In 1899, his train was ambushed by the Van der Linde Gang as it steamed through Colorado, and all of the guards were killed in a massive shootout. Adams ambushed Arthur Morgan as he headed to the front car to stop the train, but Morgan was able to break Adams' hold on him and throw him over the side and down into a valley to his death.
